Looking for a way to improve shifting. I have heard the bronze bushings are a big help, but they are no longer carried at American Sport Bike. Does anybody know if something close can be purchased at like McAlister carr etc. ?? | ||

If you have the 2002 shifter, I don't think it uses the same arrangement as my 2000 X1 with the boomarang and long linkages. What bushings are you talking about? | ||

Above listing is for the 2002 updated shifter. Here is for the 95' to '00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRONZE-BUELL-SHIFTER-BRAKE -PEDAL-BUSHING-KIT-X1-S1-S2-M2-S3-FITS-95-00-/2807 86261624?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr& hash=item41602a5678 | ||

Those look pretty sweet. Personally, I have no real problem with the plastic ones so long as they are replaced about every 10K miles. They do get floppy though  | ||

well mine where floppy as hell, so i just went and bought the brass bushing kit, and i also bought the black "shorty" levers , they looked cool so i got them. | ||

NIce! been looking for these. Anyone happen to see a S1 shifter lever? mines destroyed. Dont want to upgrade to newer style either... | ||
| 01x1buell |
have you checked ebay i have seen alot of buell parts there recently i know they had the new shifter style ,but do not know about the old style | ||
| 01x1buell |
the guys at american torque that sell those bushing are really nice people was just talking to them and they really try there best to have good buell parts and are more then happy to try and find any kind of part that you are looking for. | ||

They also try and price gouge. $3.00 Buell tank emblems sell for $75? Come on. Hell, dude was selling the $14.95 Pegasus catch can for upwards of $90 at one point. (Message edited by Brinnutz on December 17, 2011) | ||

well everything i have bought was the cheapest that i saw online i bought the led taillight for much cheaper then anywhere else and as you said "at one point" | ||

Compare their price for a front isolator kit with Al's. | ||
| 01x1buell |
i never looked at that stuff, | ||
| Harleyelf |
I didn't either, until I saw the item I had just purchased was selling for so much less at Al's. It's all part of the learning curve. | ||
| Brinnutz |
Yeah, that LED taillight he was selling was on Amazon for $32. lol. http://www.amazon.com/1994-2007-TailLights-Integra ted-Indicators-Motorcycle/dp/B004PC5GKS/ref=sr_1_c c_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1324280553&sr=1-1-catcor r http://www.amazon.com/TailLights-Integrated-Signal s-Indicators-1994-2007/dp/B003LSJMUM/ref=sr_1_cc_2 ?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1324280553&sr=1-2-catcorr They had clear ones awhile back but I'm guessing he bought them out...capitalism at its finest. |
